It's a small black plastic box sticking up out of the metal dizzy housing.

At a guess you'd have to unbolt the assembly and it'll be inside the dizzy housing. It could be contributing to your car not starting but it could be other things also. It's a starting point though if you say you've done your crank sensor.

I'd hazard a guess that they are around the £30 mark..

Could it be any other reason why this happening? Or do you reckon it will be just them two

Hot start issues are normally crank or cam sensor issues I've found. I'd be looking at ruling those out first, just don't come beating my door down if it doesn't fix it

I read something about hot under bonnet temps can potentially evaporate fuel from fuel lines near inlets but I think it's far fetched.

I'd check your timing too whilst your swapping sensors.

see where you say it doesn't offer to start, do you mean it won't crank over or it spins just won't fire up?

An engine needs fuel, spark and compression to run, you've got all of these so somewhere there's an issue with one of them. Is the spark strong enough. Could be a faulty ignition? After that, I'm at a loss.
